Pilates near San Mateo

“I took their 60 min Hot PIlates class and it was very challenging with the heat. At this point, I have only done two hot yoga classes also at the same temperature of 105-110 degrees but doing pilates in that level of humidity and heat is a whole other story. The studio is very spacious and I have not sweated so much in my life until this class. I could really feel the heat continue to compound for me at the last 20 mins of class. It provided a good opportunity to keep pushing through and get through every single exercise and rep the new instructor was providing. Lastly, the new instructor was extremely friendly and helpful. She let me know how to improve my form for a few exercises.“

“I LOVE the xformer machine (it's by far my favorite) and there's only a few studios out here that use it. MPX was the closest studio to me so I tried them out first, and I'm so happy I did! I love their class format and their instructors! Granted, I've only taken it with one instructor so far but she's incredibly talented - she's patient, kind, mindful of everyone's differences (in terms of level/comfort/strength), explains proper form and how to engage different muscles (e.g., if you want to make an exercise more quad dominant vs glutes), and never forgets if there's someone in class that has a limitation and/or needs a modification due to an injury. I've tried a few other studios around here and the only thing they have over this one is better packages ($savings). If you can afford to splurge a little, choose this studio (sign up now!). I promise you won't regret it.“

“Beautiful studio and great instructors! I recently took my first class with Krystal and loved it.“

“This is a review for the Pilates studio which opened in January 2024. The teachers are the PTs from the attached physical therapy office, which really gave me confidence in starting to work out after recovery from a longstanding injury. And the teachers are all consistently excellent -- I believe I've taken classes with all but one and I have never had a class that I didn't come out of feeling amazing. The equipment is extensive -- reformers, chairs, spring board/wall, and all sorts of other devices at the ready -- and kept clean and in great shape. 8 reformers in the studio so classes stay small. It's perfect!!“

“If you want to feel stronger, younger, more energetic & active, join a class with Pam Harris at her Coast Pilates & Fitness studio in Shoreline. Four years ago at age 70, I enrolled in her personal training class twice a week. I'm in better shape now than I was when much younger. Pam works with you to stregthen your whole body while keeping your body more flexible, yet not going beyond what you can handle. Class with Pam never feels boring as she uses different techniques, exercises or tools to tone and stregthen your body. She motivates me to continue improving my physique, physical mobility and to stay in good health. Pam is a great instructor, fun to work with and I'm proud & excited to be her student!“

“I've been studying Pilates with Harriet for over 20 years. The changes I have experienced in my body are dramatic. I have more strength, flexibility and better posture than I did 20 years ago. As well, I have increased my bone density per my latest Dexa scan.Pilates is not just an exercise, but an art form. I had studied with another studio before I found Harriet, and she transformed my practice from good to great. Her body awareness, intuition, and ability to bring a wealth of knowledge from other disciplines into her teaching is unique.Harriet has an uncanny ability to see what I'm doing with my body even through baggy clothing and give me queues to correct my form and activate the right muscles to perform the exercise for the most benefit..Every session is tailored to give me just what I need that day. I can't recommend Harriet enough for anyone who wants to take their Pilates experience to the next level.“

“This week, I tried Pilates for the first time at RockSalt Studio in Redwood City. My friend dragged me out of bed at 6:00 AM for this adventure haha. Luckily, finding parking was a breeze since it was early. Walking into the studio, I was blown away by how clean and cozy it was. The instructor gave us a warm welcome, setting the vibe for the whole class. She explained everything in a way that even newbies like me could understand, which was a huge relief. What I loved most was how chill the class was. I didn't feel pressured to keep up with everyone else; I could go at my own pace. The instructor was so positive and helpful, always making sure I was doing the moves right. Plus, the equipment was top-notch and easy to use. After the class, I couldn't wait to come back for more. It was such a great experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next session.“

“Now called Two Towers Fitness Center, it's a beautiful gym with great views, and public membership is available. Limited hours, with no weekend access.“

“I joined the club looking for stretching and something healthy to do. I went to the intro class and the environment was welcoming and supportive. I had never done Pilates before and wasn't in shape. I have really enjoyed the sessions and look forward to going. The studio is very clean. So far I have mostly liked the instructors. Here are my tips:1. Sit in the middle of the class if full so you can hear the instructors directions. The one time I sat on an end I could not hear a thing and missed a lot.2. If you are a beginner the classes fill up quickly if you don't have a flexible schedule. Weekend and early evening classes fill up weeks in advance. I have wait-listed and had zero luck, they encourage you to do the waitlist but it has not worked for me. If you can go mid-day during the week you should be fine.3. If you don't buy and unlimited visits pass, you can't sign up for the next month until your renewal date and credit replenish. Thus point #2 it gets hard for the next week or so to get in. If you don't use all your credits you can ask for it to carry over, but you do have to call and ask, it is not automatic, that is a little annoying.Overall tho 5 stars as I have enjoyed the classes and I like planning ahead and knowing when I am going. Would recommend for all ages and body types.“

“Amazing staff and location. Wish list: More parking and larger studio. Better temp and lighting would help with ambiance.“

“This review is to specifically offer my gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding customer service provided by Casey during our recent visit to Bay Club Redwood Shores. Casey was incredibly friendly, diligent, and patient throughout our visit, and ensured we had a thorough visit of all of the club's amenities, and answered all our questions pertaining to the site/membership. She far exceeded my family's expectations, which resulted in us joining the club, which appeared to be in the midst of many promising upgrades, as well as offering a host of activities for the family. Thank you again to Casey for her wonderful support.“
